I know the headline is a bit unusual, but it is true.

The Pittsburgh Steelers, winners of six Super Bowls, spent decades as a bad, bad team.

That's something to remember as the Chiefs struggle through another lost season.

The Steelers are the fifth-oldest franchise in the NFL and didn't actually become the Steelers until 1940.

The Colts seem like a lock to beat the Ravens on Sunday. Don’t fall for it! Games like this are what make Las Vegas casinos so pretty.

For recreational purposes only, I watch the betting lines. I couldn’t believe my eyes when the line opened. The Ravens were one point favorites.

The Ravens struggled to beat the Browns Monday night. The Colts are undefeated. Remember, the people who set the lines are making money because they know what they are doing.

If the line looks too easy, it probably is.

It's always a battle when rivals Ohio State and Michigan line up against each other. (Jonathan Daniel, Getty Images)by Chip Mahaney

John P. Wise is a friend of mine who's taking a few month's sabbatical from a real job to spend the fall travelling to the greatest games in college football.   And he's blogging about it on a site he created called OneGreatSeason.com.  In short, John is living a college football fan's dream. 

After weeks of criss-crossing the country, John's spending this week in New Haven, Conn., site of tomorrow's Harvard-Yale tilt.  But he's heart is apparently back in his home state, Ohio, and his mind is at least partially occupied with another big rivalry game, Michigan-Ohio State.  In fact, John says the OSU-Michigan rivalry is the best rivalry in ALL OF SPORTS

Really?  Bigger than ....

The Talent

John Lindsay - Scripps Howard News Service, Washington

John Lindsay is sports editor for Scripps Howard News Service in Washington, D.C. Writing sports since 1985, John Lindsay has covered NFL, MLB, college football and basketball and major golf events for several newspapers in his career and has been a Heisman Trophy voter since 1996.

Tom Korun - WFTS, Tampa

As we will move forward in our blogging relationship, you and I will likely agree to disagree. You'll learn I mean what I say, and say what I mean. If you don't bring passion, don't waste my time and yours!

David Francois - WFTS, Tampa

A Virginian by birth, David Francois can be found at Elmer’s in Ybor City on Sundays, the only Redskins bar in Tampa. He attended JMU and is proud to say he went to the same school as Scott "Wide Right" Norwood.

Brian Nutt - KJRH, Tulsa

Living in Tulsa means Golden Hurricanes, Sooners, or Cowboys, but not for this guy. Woo Pig Sooie Razorbacks! Nothing like a fall evening in Razorback Stadium calling the Hogs.

Aaron Heintzelman - KSHB, Kansas City

Aaron hopes to use his limited football expertise to fuel many fantasy victories this year, but a quick look at his roster proves he has some work to do. Aaron's true allegiances lie with the Eagles, but you'll also catch him tuning into Chiefs, Steelers and Dolphins games.

Tom Leyden – WXYZ, Detroit

The first book Tom ever read was, "Super Bowl," by John Devaney, written in 1971. He was hooked from that moment. He knows every Super Bowl site, score and MVP. Go ahead - try him. Especially XXI, XXV and XLII. G-Men!

Ian Preuth - WCPO, Cincinnati

I've lived in Cincinnati my whole life so I've seen many bad teams and a few good ones. Most of the time the good teams get screwed because Cincinnati is cursed. I can watch any sport, enjoy competition no matter what it is and appreciate a good debate.

Larry Carney - WMAR, Baltimore

Larry loves crab cakes, football and everything purple and black. He hates Heinz ketchup, Primanti Brothers’ sandwiches and all things Pittsburgh. His fantasy football teams grab running backs on good teams and wide receivers on bad ones. Hidden Talent: Great heckler.

Jeff Heisner - KNXV, Phoenix

I grew up and worked in Detroit and have a keen sense for what bad football really is. After escaping to Arizona I've come to find out professional football isn't all that bad.

Craig Fouhy - KNXV, Phoenix

He's played the game, he's been a coach, and now he's spouting off about it! It's not just about highlights in Phoenix...out here it's a little bit of highlights and a lot of..."Fouhy on Sports!"

Cory Williams - KNXV, Phoenix

Representing the west coast! Cory has spent the last 15 years covering the desert dwelling teams of Arizona. When you’re tired of all the east coast bias (and there's plenty of it here!)...Laugh it off and look west!

Wyatt Wright - WPTV, West Palm Beach

Wyatt Wright is a husband, father and football fan. When he's not yelling at the neighbor kids to get off his lawn, he's reminiscing about seventh grade, when he was a scrappy but undersized linebacker for the 110-pound "B" squad.

Chip Mahaney - E.W. Scripps, Cincinnati

Even though Chip's Cincinnati office has a view of the Bengals' stadium, his heart and mouth are native Texan. His first NFL memory: Super Bowl VI (Cowboys 24, Dolphins 3). Each Saturday in autumn, he prays for a resurrection of the Southwest Conference.
